Christopher Lee died at 8:30 am on Sunday morning at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London, although his wife chose to hold back the information to the public until all of his family members and friends could be informed.

He was married to Birgit Kroencke, a former Danish model. They had been married for more than 20 years and had one daughter together, Christina.

He continued to impress audiences late in his years, and would never fully give up acting, with one more film yet to be released, Angels In Notting Hill, where he plays a godly figure who looks after the universe. He was supposed to star opposite Uma Thurman in The 11th, but that film was not scheduled to begin filming until November.

Lee was well known for playing Dracula, which he did in several films, and also appeared in several other horror films early on in his career such as The Wicker Man in 1973 and was introduced to a new generation with his roles in the Star Wars and Lord Of The Rings franchises.

In addition to his extensive film career, he also experimented with music. He first played on The Wicker Man soundtrack and later released his first full-length album Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross in 2010. His 2013 single “Jingle Hell” entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 22, which made him the oldest living artist ever to enter the charts.

Christopher Lee was born in Belgravia, London, in 1922 to a military father and an aristocratic mother. He has received a number of tributes from fellow actors and important figures and will surely be missed in the acting community.

Tobias Roth received his bachelor's degree in English with a concentration on Film Studies from Michigan State University. He loves movies, being outdoors and enjoys a good game of ultimate frisbee. He also has a passion for animals, the environment, and learning new things.
